As much as I dislike google, it's so much more pro-active compared to Bing and Yandex :v
google already indexed my pages n removed the ones per updated robots.txt
Bing doesnt know I exist even though crawlled in webmaster, and Yandex still shows the Novemver version of pages in their results1 -
Almost got scammed on fucking fiverr,
just created my profile and my two gigs, had some people contact me right away, I got real excited, they asked for my email cuz apparently they could not complete their order without it so I provided them my fake email I used to create my fiverr account, then they provided me a link to enter my payment information and this is where I became sus, they were asking for my fucking card balance, I was like wtf is that shit, then I noticed that the mail was shady asf, then some 2 other mfs sent me an email with a different body.
Thank god I noticed before it was too late, joined fiverr to get bank and instead was gonna get drained, fucking motherfuckers!1 -
How do you motivate yourselves to work on side projects? like I just wanna sit on my ass play video games
I wish I knew how I can convert my motivation to game to study better or work on side projects but I don't have the secret recipe.12 -
"While a spectrum is defined as a function of frequency, a cepstrum is defined as a function of 'quefrency'. Quefrency is measured in 'time' and can be interpreted as a measure for time offsets of patterns in the time domain."
What in the actual fuck did I just read13 -
okay, it's time.
a friend of mine left Microsoft a while ago. he said that the reason he left was The Microsoft Way Of Doing Things that, upon accepting and embracing it, will make you unhirable to everyone else. Doing so was a requirement — you won't make it long without becoming One Of Them.
he may or may not have used Visual C++, C# and F#, and he may or may not have touched Windows.8 -
There is one difference between left and right. I discovered it in less than a minute. How fast are you?19

Curious about AI assisted TDD. Assisted writing of specs and then assisted implementation. Any experience so far? I kind of like the idea but I'm afraid it's like doing TDD with a toddler, helping less than 50% of the time.6

I would batter this nigga if I could
My database migrations are failing after setting a 3 character max length on an integer field with default value 200. I attempt to investigate why and after numerous back and forth, this dude reveals 200 is in fact greater than 9986 -
CODERS
IT IS TIME TO STRIKE. NO MORE MEETING BEFORE 10AM. WE DECIDE THE DEADLINE. NO MORE FEATURE UNTIL ALL THE TECH DEBT IS FIXED. NO MORE MANAGERS. IN FACT, NO MORE MEETING AT ALL. ALL ASYNC.
WE WANT OUR SPORT AND HOBBY PAID COZ SITTING ALL DAY IS SUPER BAD FOR YOUR BACK.
WE WANT GLASSES COZ WE STARE AT SCREEN ALL DAY
WE WANT FREE DRUGZ BECAUSE.16 -
There was an app called QuizUp that was discontinued a couple years ago. Haven’t seen a trivia app come close since then.
That app will always be in my heart.2 -
My new favourite consensus algorithm:
Get several devs to implement the same standard. Compare the results for lots of different test data. The consensus "correct" result is the one that is most common from all Implementations. Where consensus can't be found, the devs are shown each others code and it's a race to find bugs to invalidate an implementation that disagrees with yours. Implementations that don't follow "correct" behaviour must be updated accordingly, even if it means copying bugs from other code.
The insane thing is this is legit how it works, like python's typing standard is based on mypy and other type checkers have to match its behaviour. Unicode isn't really a standard, it just started to describe how text works in different places instead of the fights to the death battle royale we used before that.8 -
Genuine question to rust devs: is rust worth it? I'm helping devs on a rust project and every day we're swearing at it. The language, critical section control, broken libraries, etc.
To me it seems we would have far better off with golang. But since we are this far now, noone will admit it32 -
It occurred to me that I'm making actual money now and I can pay for my shit, so I tried Youtube Premium, but their background play is poorly implemented and defaults to a floating window that I need to cancel in a finnicky, android-vendor-specific way. How do you consistently make something that much less usable than an unpaid open-source developer who also has to reverse-engineer your API and circumvent your anti-user-choice obfuscation measures? NewPipe would be a success if it could just play the videos in full screen with no controls, and yet it has a better background play story than the actual provider. Fuck centralised software12

Years ago, I joined a company making games for handheld consoles.
Because a game's audio needs to be tested, too, I connected earphones to the console so that:
0. I wouldn't bother others w/ the sounds coming out of the console.
/* !Everyone wants to hear that crap. */
1. I could hear the sounds better.
PM: * Enters the room. *
Me: * Focused on testing the game. *
PM: * Walks up to me from the side, starts talking. *
Me: * Focused on testing the game. *
PM: * After approx. 30 seconds of complete lack of response from me, kind of irritated, knocks on my desk to get my attention. *
Me: * Take out the earphones. *
Oh, hi, how can I help you?
PM: Haven't you heard a word I said?
Me: Well, no. I am testing the game, including the audio.
PM: You need to pay attention to what's going on around you.
Me: Testing audio is one of my responsibilities. I am using earphones because of the reasons [0-1].
PM: Even still, you just need to pay attention to what's going on around you.
PM: * Finally explains the reason for him bothering me, then goes back to his lair. *
Moral of the story: Fuck being good at what you do && knowing your responsibilities.
When PM wants something from you, you better give him the attention he wants.
/* The expectation being I grow an extra pair of eyes && ears, so that I see the guy coming && am prepared to listen to him whenever he wants something _while_ doing the best job I possibly can. */13 -
Context/Prev: https://devrant.com/rants/9820310 (and the rants related to it)
So after accidentaly using Arch for 5 months, and then accidentally using Gentoo for 7 months
(It was supposed to be 1 month per distro, but life happened and didn't have the time and peace of mind for a switch)
Today I'm finally hopping to Slackware
I love the setup's retro/classic ncurses gui <311 -

OOF
It's been a full month. Today's my last with Debian.
Funnily enough, I was so looking forward to switching off from Ubuntu, but I'm almost sad switching away from Debian.
Which is kinda weird for me, before that I kinda assumed they'd be the same thing, and "If you see one you see all the rest"
Apparently I was wrong. I thought Ubuntu being "Debian based" basically just means "Debian with extra steps"
But holy fuck was Debian just more stable and less annoying.
Tomorrow: Elementary OS. Have a few friends who are Apple fans, and use Macbook with macOS as their main system, so I wanna try elementary to see if it's worth suggesting in case they ever get tired from Apple.1 -
They called it The Counterfeit Sun. Initially tested and deployed on The Cape of Good Hope in 1892, it was a shallow well with stone walls and a darkened needle-like protrusion in the middle. The Counterfeit Sun was able to turn a human body into damp dust in milliseconds.
With The Counterfeit Sun, soldiers fight better. People behave better in general, because no one wants to end up there. Even doctors and social workers perform better: while discarding corpses every day, they look at The Counterfeit Sun working, and they don’t want to make a round trip back to the station just to find out they’re the next to go.
Also, there were no corpses on the streets anymore. Take all of them to us, and we would get rid of them.
There was just one issue: sometimes, The Counterfeit Sun started glowing. At that moment, you knew you fucked up.15 -
Watching YouTube on TV in the bright morning sun with a sigaret in your left hand and a ice cream in your right hand while typing a random post with your tongue and toes.
Life's so good often. I can't help it guys, I just can't rant. Life's too beautiful.10
